January 2005 flooding in Indiana[edit]
Looks like a copy/paste from a newspaper local to the area; I believe this has no potential to become encyclopedic, in addition to it being hardly notable. Maybe if the "January 2005 flooding in Indiana" had killed more than 160,000 people, displaced millions upon millions more, resulted in widespread disease, and caused infrastructure damage worth billions of dollars, instead of washing out some roads, then it would be notable. --CDN99 02:55, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Soft delete. I suppose we don't want a page for every bit of severe weather. However, we can have notable weather events that are far less destructive and widespread than the recent tsunami. -Rholton 05:03, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Agree, we should have article on less destructive weather events. I'm not sure about this one, though... Abstain. Mgm|(talk) 09:54, Jan 17, 2005 (UTC)
- Move into Indiana or use it as teh basis 2005 in Indiana, Flooding in the Mid-western United States, Floods in 2005 or something along those lines Thryduulf 11:19, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Delete Wikipedia is not a place for news reports. Also would be setting a shaky precedent if kept for future articles: any little storm or flood or drought might get an article. Every day there's a flood somewhere. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 11:41, Jan 17, 2005 (UTC)
